The following section describes the switch positions used to set up the

NoMax

®

900 Series Controls. Please refer to Figures 2, 3 & 4.

NoMax 900T, 950

and 900 Functions

1) Auto

This places the control

in automatic operation

allowing it to control the

capacitor bank according

to the selected control mode

and other settings.

2) Adjust-/+

This switch is used to

decrease or increase the

selected setting. Pushing

and releasing adjusts the

setting by its smallest

adjustment value. Pushing

and holding the ADJUST

switch increases or decreas-

es the setting at a faster rate.

Continuing to hold the switch

increases the adjustment rate.

Note:

All of the

settings rollover when

the maximum or minimum

value is exceeded.

3) Time Delay

This sets the Operation

Time Delay period. This

delay is the amount of time,

in seconds, the control will

wait between determining

the bank needs to switch

states, and actually energiz-

ing the Capacitor Bank

Motor Relay. This delay is

active for Open and Close

operations, and Automatic or

Manual operations. The mini-

mum value is 3 seconds.

The maximum value is 600

seconds (10 minutes).
